nice. poor dude. well.. not really. he just got caught. hah

also, yeah i dont know. im going to get it dynod again soon. also have an appt with toyota to check my compression and check the s/c for any leaks. i dont see how its physically possible to have empty catch cans, but oil coating the intake manifolds.

doug is also confident his boost pressure readings are correct

im thinking maybe theres a bad seal in the s/c, maybe on the impeller, and its kind of shooting it around the intake area. im not that sure how to check that.

Yes sir...its alot larger than the stock...front surface area is about the same but the new radiator is about three times thicker w/ a more efficient core...

only problem...it doesnt fit with the turbo kit a slight mod is needed...the compressor needs to be rotated slightly to move the elbow downward, that makes the hot side I/C pipe not fit so a new one needs to be fabricated...the radiator WILL go in though, just have to wait a bit longer.
